WordPress Theme Detector
Enter any website to see which WordPress theme it uses — name, version, author and parent theme — plus the plugins and page builder we can find.
We read the page like a normal visitor. Nothing is stored except a short-lived cached result.

Paste the site's address, like example.com.

How the Theme Is Detected
What we look for — the same clues a developer would check.
| Clue | What it tells us |
|---|---|
/wp-content/themes/name/ in the page | The theme folder name |
The theme's style.css header | Theme name, version, author, licence and description |
Template: line in style.css | The site uses a child theme — and which parent theme |
/wp-content/plugins/name/ | Plugins that load files on the page |
<meta name="generator"> | WordPress version (if not hidden) |
| WordPress.org theme directory | If it's a free theme: rating, installs and download link |

Tips for the Best Result
- A child theme is a small customisation layer — the parent theme is the one you'd buy or download.
- Custom-built themes often have the agency's or site's name — they can't be downloaded.
- Only plugins that load files on the checked page are visible. Try other pages for more results.
- Not WordPress? We'll tell you if it looks like Shopify, Wix, Squarespace and more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about WordPress Theme Detector.
Enter the site's address and click Detect Theme. We read the page and the theme's style.css file to show the theme name, version, author and more.

Yes — plugins that load scripts or styles on the page, like Elementor, WooCommerce or Yoast SEO, are listed.
Some security or optimisation plugins combine or rename files, so the theme folder doesn't appear in the page.
The tool tells you, and often names the platform it found instead, like Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Joomla or Drupal.
